Asparagus is a delicious, tender spring vegetable available March-May. Eat these stems and flowers alone or incorporate them into other dishes. Asparagus is a perennial plant and doesn’t produce edible flowers and stems until its’ second year. The plant is very sensitive to frost and heat, making the it’s short season extra special!

Caring for Asparagus: Store asparagus in a damp cloth/ bag or plastic bag in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator. Enjoy within 4-6 days.

To prepare: Cut or snap off the tough ends of the stems (about 1”). With olive oil and salt, roast in oven 10 min or sautee over medium-high heat. See recipes below for other ideas on how to prepare asparagus.
